Conceptual Model

Komodo will bring about the anonymity of Zcash along with the NXT style PoS security, the witness based consensus system inspired by Bitshares, and the security and reliability of the Proof of Work Bitcoin Blockchain, which is a tested and proven system kept by thousands of nodes. Komodo's the Delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) consensus method will make Bitcoin the center of all PoS/dPoW cryptocurrencies, allowing the energy that is used in bitcoin mining to be utilized to secure other cryptocurrencies, thus making Bitcoin more energy efficient, while making other cryptocurrencies safer. this will add value to the entire alternative cryptocurrency sphere and to bitcoin itself as it becomes a vital part of other currencies and platforms.
